thanks Sam, katt and goob. it is a really nice place if you like to see the ocean at it's best. on a lucky day in the summer you can sometimes see whales further out. that day there weren't too many people there, but come tourist season it's quite the hot spot.

I don't know if you guys remember/heard about the Swiss Air Flight 111 tragedy, but just a few miles away from there is where the plane crashed into the ocean. we also went to see the monument they erected, and when I was there I just had this sombre feeling come over me.

SamEaston · 02-03-2008, 09:45 AM

Yeah, i know what you mean.

One of the peaks we climbed in England has an almost sheer side to it, and when we got to the top there was a little white wooden cross stuck into the ground a little way down, just before the real edge of the cliff. I was wondering what it was for, although i guessed it was a memorial to someone who had jumped/fallen off, then i heard someone say that a woman fell to her death last year at that point and the cross marks the spot where her dog sat and waited for her.

So sad

thanks katt. I was more so pleased with my pullups. I don't know what it is with me and pullups but they are like my undying love in exercise form.

thank you sir, yeah I am really liking the fruits of my labour. as simple as progressive overload periodization is I highly recommend it.

something very similar to what Witch has set up for you, isn't it?

If I'm bieng honest, i'm not entirely sure of Witch';s program, I don't know enough. It does seem to fit that description, but I do know one thing, it's damn hard = good and effective in my book.

Nice workout Scar - especially the pullups and weighted dips. Are you planning on adding weight to the pullups anytime soon?

thanks Sam.

as for the weighted pullups, my rep goal for the next 2 weeks is 8 reps so I probably wont be adding any weight to them yet. my next rep goal is 3 reps, so I'll be adding weight to those.

Week 5 - Fullbody B

Back Squats - RI 90
135/8,8
155/8
165/7

Seated Cable Rows - RI 90
105/8,8
110/8,7

DB Press - RI 90
2x45/8
2x50/8,8
2x55/6

BB Complex - Round 1 & 2 - RI 120
Split Squats 65/5,5
OH Press 65/5,5
Hang Cleans 65/5, failed on the 4 rep of the second round of these.

RDLs 65/5
Bentover Rows 65/5

Planks - RI 90
BW/75 seconds, 55 seconds, 52 seconds.

forgot to stretch.

so I was completely into it first going off I nailed my squats, didn't plan on doing 165, but I got 7 reps out of them. once I got to the BB complex, it just killed me. I failed on the second round of hang cleans which pissed me off a little bit. I did set the bar down, and eventually finished the complex, but that doesn't really count as a complex.

I'll get to everyone's journals when I can, I have quite a bit of work tonight.

the other half · 02-05-2008, 06:12 PM

we will be waiting.

some day we will do things likes planks, crunches, etc. i hope.

good workout.

Pylon · 02-05-2008, 06:31 PM

Nice work, Scar!

Scarface30 · 02-08-2008, 03:00 PM

thanks OH and Py.

haven't really been working out the last few days. I know it's only a few but lately I just feel bummed out about going/getting to the gym. it's for a couple reasons really, but the most significant ones are I have come to realize that when I don't go I get a hell of a lot of school work finished/finished a few days in advance, and the times I actually have time to go are rather inconvenient for me. it's really weird for me because I always looked forward to going but not so much anymore

. maybe I'll take another few days off and see how I feel.

goob · 02-08-2008, 03:02 PM

Great workout scar. Those hang cleans are a bitch ain't they?

DOMS · 02-08-2008, 03:10 PM

Solid workout, Scarface!

Sucks about the hangs, but you'll hit them soon. And great squats!
